The actual issue with the update

The actual issue with the update is that everything that has been built and added to the game since it's release was based on the old gameplay. Troop cost, upgrade costs, and mine and pump creation rates were all based on the amount of resources players were getting under the old way of playing the game and what it took for them to upgrade at a reasonable rate. This new way may have been the way the game was intended, but it's not they way it was built. You changed the core of the game but left all the pieces the same, they just don't fit together anymore.

Resource rates need to increase and the amount of loot you can take from lower THs needs to decrease. The reward for being in higher leagues needs to increase, as it is now there is ZERO incentive to collect trophies.

If this is truly how gameplay was intended you need to adapt all facets of the game, don't just change the core and stop there.

The whole update is smoke and mirrors to get you to buy gems. They want your progression to hault so you're forced to buy gems. With more expensive armies, using more spells and being attacked a lot more it is a lot harder to progress without gems especially if you're a casual player.

The real problem with the update is greed. I used to spend money to gem time to free up my builders. Now I refuse to spend another penny. Especially since I'm loosing interest in the game.

Yep, the time it takes to make heavier armies is the real game killer. If they want us to use war troop combos that's fine but we shouldn't have to wait 2-3hrs for these armies to be ready for a 4 minute attack. By killing quick and casual gameplay you kill the casual players (you know, the majority of players in the game).

Definitely the update has caused a huge imbalance between what was required in time/effort to progress and the state of the game now.

My opinion on the biggest problem with the update is that too much was changed too quickly, with little to no forewarning given to the player base that had relied upon the old game mechanics for 3 years.

The issue isn't really on offense... It's offense combined with defense losses and minimal ROI.

The simplest fix to help casuals play the game is to minimize their losses and everyone elses. That is what the shield did for everyone that broke the economy.

Simply put, Supercell needs to pony up half the storage loot an attacker would have gained instead of the defender. Hence a previous 300 300 3000 resource smashing would be 150 150 1500 for the defender, same resources looted for the attacker, nothing changed except half the storage loot was generated. Collectors remain the same, you gotta log in... It is incredibly simple and fixes much of what is happening now. To drastically cut cuts on offense WILL NOT HELP the casual player, they still will not be able to make progress as they still get smashed on defense for most or more then they gained.
